In Increments

A strange quirk..........

I always think of myself as being a complete fuck-up until about two weeks ago- every two weeks. Always.
As in- right now, I think I kinda' have it all figured out. Ask me in a few weeks and I'll call the me of today a total idiot- and I'll really mean it. And feel it.

I am anxious to be a little better here in a few weeks. Even if I'm not, that's cool, as long as I never turn back into the moron I was in my 20's or teens. I can't get far enough away from those years...

Here's to learning a little more each day about this mess we're in.

William Benton,

My curiousity of reading about stranger's life have brought me to yours. Normally with the low attention span that I have when it comes to reading about people, I would have stopped reading by the second entry. But your life and your past opened up my curiousity more and interested me. Like the awkwardness of being at Kale's home and lifestyle she was living as a child. To the hope and joy that you felt when you saw the grandfather talking to little boy in the post office. To your decision to quit working on the oilfield. To yourself 'being detached from the world' due to poverty. With these 13 entries that you have written, it has opened up my curiousity even more to know about your life. I hope to see more of your posts in the near future. I really do enjoy reading them.

Best Wishes,
J.S.
